On 10 Nov 2008, there was a significant change to the geocoder and 
reverse geocoder. Before that, if you entered a string containing 
lat/lng coordinates it went through the geocoder. To use the reverse 
geocoder you had to pass a GLatLng().

Since then, passing such a string calls the reverse geocoder.

The reverse geocoder returns details of a nearby point which has an 
address. If the point is close to a street address, then that nearby 
point could be quite close. If the point is over a certain distance from 
a known street, then the centre of the nearest town is returned.

Actually, it now returns a list of various geographical regions which 
contain the desired point, such as the suburb, school district, city, 
county, state, country and continent. If you're using .getLatLng() then 
you get the centre point of whichever of those comes first.
